Which mushroom supplements are actually worth your money, and which are mostly rice?
There's a thirty-year fight in the mushroom world: one camp swears by the fruiting body, the other by mycelium, and the labels are written to keep you confused. So I put both sides on trial and went looking for the real evidence. This is what I found, with the receipts.
Mushroom Myth Busters is an independent, plain-English investigation into the mycelium vs fruiting body vs grain-filler debate. No sponsor, no dog in the fight, every single verdict backed by a source you can click and check yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions
Care instructions
Liquid culture can be stored at room temperature for up to 6 months and longer than a year if refrigerated. Grain spawn and substrate should be used within 1-2 weeks of being sterilized.
What is the difference between spores and liquid culture?
A liquid culture syringe is a culture medium that contains small pieces of Mycelium which have already germinated (from spores) and began growing. Often a Liquid culture syringe contains a nutritious liquid (often sterilized) such as honey liquid culture which the Mycelium can feed on and expand.
A spore syringe contains spores suspended in a water solution (often sterilized and distilled). Spores can be viewed in a similar way seeds are viewed in a plant’s life cycle. The difference with spores is that two spores that are a genetic match must meet (under the correct conditions) then germinate to begin their life cycle. A spore syringe will create a Mycelium network with many different genetic lineages inside.
How long does it take to colonize grain spawn?
Generally it takes 3-5 days for visible growth. At this point it is best to shake the grain spawn to redistribute the mycelium. After shaking, the mycelium with rebound and colonize the grain spawn fully in 1-2 weeks.
